DISPUTED ACCOUNTS SETTLED.

AN AGREEMENT.
settlement N disputed accounts betvee the
Central Rnilroad~o New-Jersey and the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company has been reached.
When the New-Jersey road was leased to the Reading
in May, 1885, both companies were in the hands OF
receivers. and Chancellor Runyon consented to the
lease only on the promise OF the Reading Company to
pay the ership debt Of the New-Jersey Com
pany, which called S2,O0O,OOO within ninety
days. If payment was not made in that time the lease
was to be null aud void and to ito promise the
Reading Company deposited with the court
S1,OOOOc0 OF lite consolidated mortgage bonds,
first series. and $1,000 900 second series. The debt
was never discharged but the supplies and material
Tor which the receiver incurred this debt quickly
appropriated by the Reading Company. which was
then under the management OF Franklin b. Gowen.
Some time ago the 81 900 600 first series bonds were
sold tor the benefit of the NewJersey road but an in
junction prevented the sale of tho remaining col
lateral The jersey Central insisted upon possession
OF the bonds no. only upon the ground the original
deposit with the court but also on account large
claims for guaranteed dividends and other indebted
ness under tho operation OF the lease. The Reading
Company urged its ownership OF tho bonds aud up
counter claims tor permanent Improvement on the
leased line.
The basis of settlement now reached ia nm exceed
lngly simple one 1t has been agreed that the Jersey
Central Company shall take tho g. 900 600 bonds at
par in partial settlement of It's claims and that the
balance OF account shall take its place and chance
among the unsecured claims in the proposed
nation OF the Reading Company In other words,
the New-Jersey Company is permitted 10 keep, at
price, what it already has, and IL wthdrsws any
possible opposition 10 the reorganization of the Read
ing Company, which in turn surrenders legal claim
possession OF the bonds used rs collateral security.
The balance OF account between the two roads has not
been ascertaincd II SAID that the agreement was
entirely satisfactory to both sides.
